Age group in 2 year gaps JPL/JSL

Hi,

I've seen a few posts about 2 year age group gaps. I agree with this especially for JPL/JSL ages. Many clubs have one team in an age group which then automatically becomes a JPL team. That team may have 6 very good players, a couple of good ones and the rest ok making up the numbers so to speak.

If the age groups were in 2 year increments the coach's would have 30 kids to pick a true JPL team from. Then the ramaining kids make up JSL team. No kids need to miss out and the same amount of spots exist and clubs can have as many JSL teams as they want.
